Hey all -
I want to apply for AUC aug '07 class, but I won't be able to submit an application until probably the end of May because I need L.o.R. from some teachers I will have in Spring '07, and I'll need to make up for this semester (grade wise). I realize that AUC is rolling admission and they rec a 4-5 mo. buffer between app and target semester. Stats are:3.5-ish GPA, sciGPA = ?
37 T
1 sem. research and hopefully 1 sem. hospital volunteer.

how late has anyone here applied and still gotten in? Also, anyone know if I would be competitive for Chancellors Scholarship? Thanks so much guys!

You cannot be serious with those stats!!! GPA 3.5ish and I assume your science would be somewhat close and a 37T on the MCAT!!!!!! Give me a break. Get outta here.

First I do think you are a competitive candidate for the Chancellors Scholarship.

If you bring up your Science GPA, don't discount applying to US Schools,your gpa and definetly MCAT sound good ( 98th percentile I believe)

I find there to be an advantage to going to Caribbean Schools since you can start a few months earlier since there are rolling admissions. I am starting school in 2 weeks, just finished undergrad, and I am excitied to start instead of waiting 7 more months.

I wish you the best with your decisions.

I'm really not joking - or trying to be an dingus - I have messed up a lot in Undergrad - this semester I'll be _failing_ 3 out of 4 classes, and I have absolutely no extracurrics or volunteer exp. (yet) - i'm just not interested in delaying and/or jumping through hoops to get into an american med school when i don't think it makes that much diff (we all take the same test in the end). Also, i might have a shot at the Chanc. Scholarship, which would save me a ton of money.

So please - can anyone let me know how late they have applied for Aug sem. and still gotten in with rolling?

Thanks CVA - the flexibility with starting dates is a big plus for me too - i would def be waiting around at least a year if i went with an American school.

That would be enough time to be considered.
